Ciao, first of all thanks Vadim for adding the XPathQuery capability to the XML:DB pseudo protocol as well as for adding the xmldb.jar: this was a long awaited feature, and I could never find the time to fill in the gap, so your help was really appreciated here :) Besides, your patches also pointed me out a flaw in the AbstractSAXSource implementation: I fixed the getLastModified() so there is no need to override it from the Source.
Now, regarding the XPath stuff, I see that support was added considering everything that comes after the "?" character in the URL as the actual XPath being requested. I'm afraid that this might get us some troubles so I'd like to have a final word about this issue. When we discussed about it there were basically two suggestion: 1. use an "Xpointerish" syntax, e.g. xmldb:xindice:///collection#/my/XPath 2. use an "xpath" parameter, e.g: xmldb:xindice:///collection?xpath=/my/XPath I like the first one best, since it's much cleaner in design: the only problem is that this syntax seems to suggest that an XPointer "query" is being done, while what takes place is "just" plain XPath. The second one is probably safer, but it seems to me a bit clumsy (not to mention that we probably should do some sort of URL encoding on it, shouldn't we?). Any suggestion? Should we run a vote on it? I'm also wondering if it might be the case to ask the XML:DB community to come up with a standard URL syntax for this case.
